Material dialog box (Mac)

- Chapter six oh three, we're looking at the Material…dialogue box in the MAC environment.…This is it.…It's loaded up in a similar way,…even though it's called Colors,…Window and Materials will get you there as well…as the paint bucket, as also this…little icon which is part of the customized toolbar…in the MAC, right click on this sort of grey area,…Customize Toolbar, and then you'll find it…and drag it to the toolbar,…and you're there.…

This installment of SketchUp for Architecture picks up where Fundamentals left off. Paul J. Smith shows how to create some typical construction details for a residential building project with SketchUp. He'll start with the foundations and then build up the external cavity wall with brick and block components to the slab level before completing the wall, adding a window opening, and installing a timber casement window created from imported CAD profiles. He'll also load and add premade materials for a more realistic appearance and export the model for rendering in LayOut.

This installment concentrates on organizing the details in your scenes with the Outliner and Layers panels. As the course shows, well-built and organized SketchUp components allow architects to have greater flexibility at every stage of the design process.
